Mike Morgan had some on one of his recent videos. Said he got chain but no files available yet.

Wonder difference in cost over regular RS chain seeing video maybe 10 percent gain was fairly close between the two chains

There may be a couple of threads already going on Hexa chain.

@bradb123 brought over a chain he created with his grinder to try out was made with new Oregon chisel tooth on a @huskihl built 572xp.
I made a cut through some "harder" wood than in the video I took of Brad in some Pine. I have to say that in all honesty it cut really well and fairly speedy too. Might be something to this extra angular toothed chain after all.
Here's some vidja of it in action for ya's.

I got the idea for making this chain after speaking with Richard Flagg , @redlight066 . I also think the chain cuts well . It didn't take me very long to convert it using my grinder .

I'm still on the fence yet, I do think it has enough merit to keep looking into it and see what other quality's it has, like the smooth bore cut that I had for example.

I just got some square ground chains back, so maybe when I get that one from you I can do a comparison against that and see what goes on.

On my way home from my cabin I stopped by @kurtz and @EAK044 house to let them try it out . They both thought it cut well . They ran it on my xs 572xpg and my scarr 572XP .

I just got done with the chain Steve . This is only my second attempt at doing this . Your chain was well worn and I tried not to go to deep and cut into the chassis of the chain . I'll drop it off one of these weekends and we will try it out .

Yeah, but they're both Stihl guys. LOL

Those 572’s are pretty slick though

I just got done converting a Oregon exl 72dl chain to hexa grind for a coworker to try . It only took me 6 minutes or half a can of beer .

I cant take the option of someone who does not know their chain guages and admitted thinks stihl does things "bass ackwards" .
This reviewer probably isn't a bad guy, just wouldn't bank on his opinion.

I'll start by saying my drawing ability sucks . This is the wheel I started with . Dress the end of the wheel to square it off . Next , dress the edge of the wheel to 20 degrees .
